I liked the old Twin Towers much more than the new One World Trade Center.

Add to that all the time, effort and hundreds of billions of dollars that we have pissed away on Homeland Security bullshit since then.

That's another bottomless money pit.

And Bin Laden's 9/11 budget was what?

A couple of hundred thousand?

So who fucked who?

I agree. I think it would have been a stronger message to have built them back exactly as they were.

I never said it was. All I did was expand on Bob's post with a little humor. You'll have to pick a fight with someone else.
